To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.
A proportion looks like this:

It means that the quantity a,b,c and d are in the same proportion: the ratio between a and b is the same ratio between c and d.
They are particularly useful in situation when you have an example given, and you want to extrapolate the relationship for another couple.
For example, you can think of the following problem: "Five apples cost 2 dollars. How much will 8 apples cost?"
You can build the proportion

And then solve it for x:

Step-by-step explanation:
The domain is the horizontal extent of the graph, the set of x-values for which the function is defined. The range is the vertical extent of the graph, the set of y-values defined by the function.
<h3>Simplified</h3>
The given function is undefined where its denominator is zero, at x=1. Everywhere else, it can be simplified to ...

<h3>Domain</h3>
The simplified function (3x+4) is defined for all values of x except x=1. The simplest description is ...
x ≠ 1
In interval notation, this is ...
(-∞, 1) ∪ (1, ∞)
<h3>Range</h3>
The simplified function is capable of producing all values of y except the one corresponding to x=1: 3(1)+4 = 7. The simplest description is ...
y ≠ 7
In interval notation, this is ...
(-∞, 7) ∪ (7, ∞)
